ADVENTURES IN SUNNYBROOK PARK”

Season 2 – Episode 2

Air Hummingbird – Part 2

The  holidays were filled with fun and absolutely perfect for making the  Adventures In Sunnybrook Park holiday special. Before Poppy and the  'Toon Loon' crew knew it, they were back to school getting their book  learn on.

CLANG!

Pluie slammed her locker and looked towards Yosh, Poppy, and Winry.

"I  still can't believe they let you be a cheerleader for the volleyball  team," she stated as her blue eyes briefly turned a shade of emerald  green. "Oh, well. Asher, Meezoo, and I will have fun skating on the pond  as you jump around like a daffy duckling."

"To  be fair," added Winry as she swapped her school backpack for her sports  bag. "My brother is the only cheerleader they have for the Toon Loon  Girls Volleyball Team."

"I am?" gulped the dino-duckling as he swapped his school supplies with his cheerleading equipment.

"Hey!"  proclaimed Poppy while gesturing for her pet duck, Puddles, to waddle  his way into the locker-lined hallway. "I think it is sweet that Yosh  got offered to cheer me on as I go from the sidelines and into the  game."

SIZZLE

Pluie scowled towards her ruby-throated hummingbird friend as a small puff of smoke blasted out from the nose of her beak.

"Are  you alright, Pluie?" Asher asked upon seeing his duck friend do what  he, being a dragon, was more known for doing. "Did today's lunch make  you gassy?"

THWUMP!

"Harumph!"  the pink raincoat wearing, white duck retorted as she stomped her  galoshes upon the ground, folded her arms, and turned her face away from  everyone. "Come on, Asher. Meezoo is already waiting for us at the pond  where we will certainly have more fun than we ever would watching Yosh  shake his blue balls around."

CLANG!]/

Yosh's  beak dropped open and crashed upon the ground as he bashfully tried to  hide the shimmering, sapphire-blue pom-poms he had been just shaking  around.

CLASP

CA-CLICK CA-CLICK CA-CLICK

SQUACK!

Winry  took hold of her brother's short, stubby tail and jostled it up and  down until his beak returned to its original position and shut with him  letting out a feral quack.

"It's  okay, big brother," the more duck than dinosaur said as she patted him  on his very obvious, blue-colored shorts covered, diaper butt. "I bet  you'll make lots of new friends as our school's first ever cheerleader  for the Girls Volleyball Team."

Pluie gave no eye contact as Winry helped lead Yosh towards the locker rooms to prepare for their first after school practice.

SNATCH!

YOINK!

"Huh?" wondered Poppy as she was grabbed by the beak and pulled down so she could be eye-to-eye with Pluie.

"Don't get any ideas," the jealous duck stated as her eyes, again, flashed a shade of emerald-green.

Poppy smiled as the red markings on her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.

"You  bet, Pluie," she said after removing her long beak from the  white-feathered duck's hand. "Your secret crush on Yosh is safe with  me."

FWEE!

Smoke vented from Pluie's ears as she balled her hands into fists.

"Come on, Asher!" she growled. "I'm more than done with this scene."

Asher  looked to Poppy and Puddles, then towards Pluie as she stomped away,  and then towards those who were watching what was going on through their  television sets at home.

"I don't get it," he said with a shrug towards the audience before he followed after Pluie.

CA-CLICK

SCHWICK-SKREE

"This  is so exciting!" cheered Poppy as she opened the locker that had been  assigned to her by their coach. "I wonder what it is going to be like  being cheered for instead of being the one doing all of the cheering?"

RUSTLE-RUSTLE

FWUP

Winry pulled her uniform shorts over her owl-printed training pants and smiled.

"Playing  a sport is just like cheerleading," she assured. "Once you learn the  'routine' for how the game is played, you give it your all and bash that  ball straight into the face of anyone who tries to stop you from  scoring a point by hammering it down over the other side of the net!"

Winry's  'enthusiasm' for the game of volleyball caught Poppy off guard.  However, despite the chill in the air within the concrete floor of the  basement-level locker rooms, the happy hummingbird felt all warm and  toasty about putting her boundless energy to work at her first team  sport that was not just cheerleading from the sidelines.

"No way!" squawked a familiar voice. "Since when are they letting benchwarmers play with the pros?"

Winry  and Poppy both were very unsurprised to see their nemesis, Peggy  Pidgeotto, with her wings at her sides as two of her cronies stood in  full uniform at each of her sides.

"Well," retorted Winry as she faced down the leader of 'The Pampless Prodigies'. "If it isn't Flynn Hoot's number two."

SNICKER-SNICKER

SLAP!

Peggy's  pals found humor in Winry's statement that was not to the approval of  the power-driven pigeon. So, as a good villain often does, she knocked  her sidekicks off their feet and onto the ground with a mighty flap of  her wings.

"That wasn't funny!" she roared. "The only number two here is you, O'Ducky!"

SLURP

"Gah!" croaked Peggy as Winry launched out her frog-like tongue and whipped it up over the prissy pigeon's face. "That's gross!"

"What's gross is your taste in lip balm," stated Winry before making a yucky face.

TAP-TAP-TAP!

"Okay,  ladies!" called the coach from somewhere off-screen. "Everyone who  plans to be a part of this team best be dressed in their uniforms and  out in the gym within the next three minutes if they don't want to just  sit and warm the bench all season!"

"That's  my queue," Peggy stated proudly as her cronies returned to her sides.  "I'll see you on the court, O'Ducky. Oh, and as for you 'Poopy', you  best change that wet diaper your showing off before you wind up sitting  in it on the bench like the loser you are."

"I'm  wet...?" gasped Poppy as she used her wing to verify what the bully had  just made obvious to everyone in the locker room. "And I forgot to  bring a change with me, too."

Winry shrugged as she looked into her gym bag for one of her spare pairs of training pants.

"Perhaps  a pair of my trainers will work for you?" she considered while starting  to pull out one of her extra pairs of owl-print pull-ups.

CHING!

CLANG-SLAM!

"QUACK!" cried Puddles as he emerged from another locker in the room.

CLIP-CLOP

FWOOF!

Upon  touching down on the concrete floor in his trademark boots, Puddles  used his own cartoon comic powers to reach behind his back and whip out a  clean diaper for his best friend to use.

"Puddles!"  cheered Poppy as she started to slip herself out of the soaked diaper  that had swollen itself around her hips. "You're a life saver!"

Winry smiled as she put her spare pair of training pants back into her gym bag.

"What  luck that you have such a great duck at your side!" she stated. "Since  we got to keep this clean, I'll head out to the gym while you and  Puddles finish getting ready for today's practice."

Puddles  winked to Poppy as he used even more cartoon physics to put down a  plush, changing pad upon the floor that Poppy laid herself down upon.

"We'll  see you after the commercial break!" waved Poppy as Puddles undid the  sticky tabs that were showing signs of strain from holding up Poppy's  piddled pamps.

NOTE:

This was a story inspired from a series of cartoon-themed tales that I told based on characters by Padded Artist, Meezoo / Toothpick, my own characters, and those lovable animated programs from the 1990s.  Most notably Tiny Toon Adventures.
